Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is classified as being in fair condition. While it features significant mechanical upgrades such as a new roof and A/C system (2020) and a recently remodeled detached studio (2026), the main residence shows clear signs of age and lacks modern interior updates. Images of the primary living areas reveal dated popcorn ceilings, basic tile flooring, and older ceiling fans and fixtures. The main house appears well-maintained but remains stylistically outdated, consistent with a 1970s build that has received only partial renovations.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7754, living area = 1606.
The property includes a fully remodeled detached studio with its own full bath, providing excellent versatility for rental income, multi-generational living, or a professional home office.
A new roof and A/C system both installed in 2020 offer significant peace of mind and reduced immediate capital expenditures for the new owner.
The assigned elementary, middle, and high schools all carry a rating of 3/10, which may be a concern for families prioritizing academic performance and could impact future resale value.
Fitting five potential bedrooms into 1,606 square feet suggests that individual room sizes may be quite small, potentially leading to a cramped interior feel for larger households.
